What I've been seeing in my timeline over the last few is just ridiculous. Post after post saying you should absolutely NOT support Bandcamp anymore under ANY circumstances, that "everything there is shit anyway," that all the artists still on there are either lazy, ignorant, or sellouts. I'm reading this from people who have never released a single record or song in their lives, pointing fingers at us and telling us how to manage our livelihood.

And here comes the big, fat point everyone's forgetting:
With this blind activism, you're not punishing Bandcamp. Bandcamp already cashed the check and is sitting in their warm office. You're fucking us over. The artists. The ones who built their entire artistic existence there.

Let me break this down a bit more because I have a feeling many of you don't understand what it means to be an independent artist caught between the front lines right now.
